We have lost the remote to the DVD player. Makes watching dvds a pain the tookus because you can't skip where you want to go or pick out a particular episode. Or do anything fun.
Now, you say, Debu, don't be so damn lazy. Have Zoe get up and do that for you.
Well I would, but those buttons aren't on the DVD player anywhere. Play. Open. Off. And skip (which means you still have to always restart and then skip). But there aren't any other buttons on the player anywhere. UG! It was here when I went to Houston last time.
I know there's a universal remote somewhere. Guess that means I need to clean up my room.

Guess what! I just email Oprah's people to see if they can hook us up with Uma for the Light the Night walk. Hey, it could happen.
p.s.- If there is anyone out there in the WWW who knows Uma, could you ask her if she would like to help out her goober/kick @$$ fans to raise lots of $ for the Leukemia Lymphoma Society?

Posted by: kami at March 27, 2007 09:46 AMOnce when my kids where well,kids, I was looking for the remote to our big screen tv and after an exhasting search I finally gave up an turned on the tv plopped into the recliner pulled the lever and CRUNCH. I had looked under the cushion and down the sides of the chair but, somehow it had fallen down the side of the chair into the mechanism. It cost over $100 to replace the darn thing.
Hope you find your remote soon.

But stranger yet, was that somehow he changed it to Animal Planet. (JK on that last part.)
Latka RIP, old buddy. Come to thing of it, that remote died too (the baby chewed the buttons off.) It cost $40 to replace that piece of carp. Very sad about the dog; just very pissed about the remote.
Just one more thing: UMA UMA UMA UMA UMA

Posted by: sis #2 at March 27, 2007 10:39 PMGrr I hate it when modern conviniences are designed so you can't work them properly without the remote. Thats just plain bad ergonomics as any sensible designer knows the remote it missing half the time. I'd like to get a general remote contoller we have a cluster of four we have to keep tags on 1 for the DVD, 1 for the TV, 1 for the video (whoops lost that - who uses videos anymore anyway? 1 for the ... oh well you get the idea. Maybe it was better in the 70s when the remote came attaced to the TV?
